Pwnage and QuickPwn Available for Firmware 2.2

The Dev Team has released jailbreaks for firmware 2.2. You can get all the info HERE. Make sure you read all the instructions very carefully. We will be jailbreaking our iPhones soon and will post instructions and our experience once we have finished.

Just finished the install. I chose the update option and realized that it does not remove your apps, music, videos…. I couldn’t restore from backup which i needed so i could use apt backup. Ended up restoring it fully, restored from backup, got all my apps, set up my theme. All happy! (An iPod Touch 1Gen User)

Sorry I didn’t use a tutorial, however the dev team site might help. It really quite easy though:
1) Update ipod touch to 2.2 through itunes
2) Close itunes and launch quickpwn
3) Read the pop-ups and click okay to them
4) Quickpwn does the rest (you will have to put your password in once on a mac)
5) Make sure to follow the on screen instructions in Quickpwn carefully!

You should restore it iTunes first before you upgrade if your jailbroken. And to find out how to jailbreak 2.2 just go on YouTube and search jailbreak iPhone 2.2 and you have all the download links and tutorial right there.

Can you update from jailbroken 2.1 to 2.2 without restoring? also when exactly do you run aptbackup? is there an faq from upgrading from an already jailbroken phone to the newest jailbreak, and maintain all jailbroken aps?

I ended up using Pwnage Tool 2.2.1 Simple mode to jailbreak my 2G iPhone. Happy to report that Boss Prefs, Cycorder, WinterBoard, and Stack are all working on FW 2.2.
The only issue I see is that the category “changes,” is not updating for me in Cydia. Does anyone know how to fix this?

I had Cydia hidden and used with SBSettings prior to the 2.2 jailbreak. Using QuickPwn, I seem to be jailbroken but with no visible Cydia. Anyone know how to get around this without finding an older “archive” that was not using SBSettings?

Is anyone else having issues installing aptBackup after updating to 2.2? It almost seems to install but doesn’t show when I press home and clicking Manage->Packages it doesn’t show up as installed. Restarting doesn’t help. Anyone else having this issue?

Oh my…what should I do now? i have mistakenly chosen the stock ipsw 2.2 instead of the custom ipsw 2.2 created with pwnagetool 2.2…late night man..darn!!!! lost everything and feels like banging my head to the wall..
any experts here would guide me on how to get my iphone 3g back to its cydia glory? saw some posts that i might lose the future unlock.
would it be possible to use turbo sim later on should i need to change my carrier in the future?
please anyone? thanks

I successfully jailbroke my iPhone 3g on the 1st try. No problems at all.
The only thing is I can’t get the Qik app to work. It crashes upon startup everytime I open the app. Other than that everything is working great like I said.

Anyone have problems while syncing their 2G iPhone? My phone reboots while it tries installing/updating apps. Thus, it only installs a couple apps during the sync and then it reboots and then i have to re-sync again. I have to repeat this until all the apps are installed.

SBSettings users! I restored my phone to the new firmware, jailbroke using Quickpwn, and everything was working fine. However, I had previously put Cydia (and some other apps) onto the dock of my SBSettings. Now that I’ve restored to my backup so that I can use AptBackup, my Cydia icon is missing and I can’t install figure out a way to get it back without starting over fresh. I can see Cydia in my Applications folder using iPhone Browser, so I know it’s there. Any suggestions?

Are some of the Cydia sources offline right now? I just restored my phone via iTunes and then jailbroke it using QuickPwn but I can’t download several apps in Cydia because it keeps telling me that it can’t find the package within my current sources. I have made sure all the sources listed in green on this website are installed.

On a 1st gen iPhone the strangest thing I’ve noticed so far is that after SSH’ing into my phone the Themes folder now has a duplicate of each folder contained within. All of my old folders are still there plus newer versions with different extensions and basic content inside. I’m wondering if anyone else has notice the same thing. Everything is working fine, I deleted the old files after saving the contents to my desktop.

For those of us who bank with WAMU (Washington Mutual), there site now has the iPhone ready mobile phone browser style similar to this site when on the iPhone. 100 times easier to use than the normal PC site.

I tried restoring my iphone2g and while restoring i got iTunes error 1602 and my previously jailbroken phone bricked all I got is a drawing of a guy saying something in russian and iTunes doesn’t detect the phone even if I try to put it in DFU mode. HELP!!!

Hmm, sounds similar to mine.
I had a 1.1.4 phone and successfully updated it to 2.2. It was working perfectly, street view worked, app store apps worked, etc. After a day, the phone froze and rebooted to the “Steve Jobs cartoon with a Russian saying”. It is currently stuck cycling between that Steve Jobs cartoon and the pineapple. I can’t even restore in iTunes now because I keep getting an “unknown error 14”. Any help would be appreciated.

Just wondering I restored my iphone then updated to 2.2, then used a back up to get all my contacts back then quickpwned. Is that the right way to do it or should i have just started all over? Plus after all that in the program lockdown I can’t find the camera app to put a password on. It shows up everywhere else except in Lockdown any reason why?

Now i got it to restore in iTunes but when I run QuickPWN (for Windows) but it gets stuck when it gives you the instructions “Wait until the phone restarts in restore mode” or something like that, it gets stuck on the first one and does nothing. is anybody having this issue??

First, not ALL areas have pictures taken. If you drop a pin and there is no orange guy on the left of the pin label, there is no streetview for that area. If there is an orange guy, then touch it and you will enter quickview. For some reason ( probably ) good, almost nobody I know finds that icon intuitive.

I have done the most stupidest thing ever! I had catagories with my apps in (including settings, cydia, installer.. basicly everything) I have just upgraded to 2.2 wihout thinking!!! I have no cydia/settings/weather/maps/installer…. How can I undo this :(? I tried restoring/reinstalling 2 times and its still the same!

I NEED SERIOUS HELP AND FAST! I REALLY NEED MY PHONE TO BE FUNCTIONAL BY TONIGHT! :\ I AM FRANTIC…

I have the 2g iphone with 2.2 firmware. I used the quickpwn tool for windows to unlock and jailbreak my phone. The jailbreak appeared to go smoothly…however, when I put in a t-mobile SIM it said “different SIM card. Connect to iTunes.” I even tried to put in my active Cingular SIM and got the same thing. When I put in an inactive SIM I got the USB cable on the screen with “emergency calls only.” The weird thing is: When I do put in a t-mobile sim I see the t-mobile bars and even though it says emergency calls only, I can make a call! I can’t see my apps though…just the USB cable with emergency calls only.

I have a 2G iphone and was running on the 2.0 firmware when I upgraded to the 2.2 last night …. everything worked fine, I expected my iphone to lock on me and I thought I would have to unlock/jailbreak it but it works fully functional. I was told to run the QuickPwn after the upgrade but I haven’t yet since it seems my iphone is in working order.

However my cydia, Bootneuter and Installer icons have all disappeared, if I use the Quickpwn now, will Cydia return?
